Day 121: Jerrell Singer

My name is Jerrel Singer, I am Dine’/Navajo. I am born for the Ashiihi(Salt People) Clan and Kinyaa’aanii(Towering Rock People) Clan. My Paternal Clan is Tl’aashchí’í(Red Bottom People) and my Maternal Clan is To dich’ii’nii(Bitterwater People).

I am a Dine’ Painter originally from Tuba City, I am a representative of a larger family unit that exudes contemporary Native American artistic talent. I am an abstract landscape artist. My work captures the daylight and nightscapes colors and shadows of the Navajo Reservation and of the Southwest. I paint scenes that are recognizable as desert, sky, and clouds but are represented in an abstract fashion.
